Designing the people in my life...

This year design classes were eventful, and apart from many small assignments we worked on two long-term projects. One of them, overseen by Emily Wood from Reg Design, was entitled "Everyone I've ever known".
The brief was to find a way to classify the people in our lives and to convey those information through a poster.

In “Where are you? (in my life)” I chose to illustrate how the divers social circles overlap with one another, mapping the mains groups of people through the way we met and their place in my personal landscape. The customisable tags “… is here” ad an element of playfulness and interactivity to the poster by allowing people to place themselves in the precise overlapping area they are in.

On the subject of designing a visualisation of complex informations or numbers, the website Designing the News is an interesting and plentiful resource.
